Chapter 308: Chapter 144: Lottery, Dao Soldier Soy Mother!_1
“Changsheng, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Xiyue saw that Lu Changsheng had suddenly fallen into a daze and asked aloud.
“It’s my first time seeing such a huge marketplace; I’m a bit amazed.”
Lu Changsheng immediately came back to his senses and responded offhandedly.
He no longer looked at the system interface.
“I’ve only been to this Qingyun Market once myself.”
“I can’t even imagine how bustling the Three Great Immortal Cities must be.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue said the following.
Shortly thereafter, the two queued up to enter the marketplace.
After paying ten Spirit Stones and registering their information quickly, they received tokens and entered the market.
Xiao Xiyue then started to introduce the layout of Qingyun Market to Lu Changsheng.
The market is divided into the Outer City, Inner City, and Core Area.
The Outer City is a gathering place for poor and ordinary loose cultivators.
As for the Inner City, it depends on the area.
The marketplace’s shops, inns, stations, residential areas, and so on, are all concentrated here.
As for the Core Area, it was the peak they had seen before that pierced the skies.
A portion at the foot of the Core Area’s mountain has cave mansions open to the public.
The Second-Order top-quality cave mansion Xiao Xiyue spoke of was also on this mountain.
The two made their way into the Inner City.
Looking at the bustling shops on both sides made Lu Changsheng mentally prepare to deal with the young man in the red robe’s illicit gains in the marketplace after his Foundation Establishment.
He hadn’t been to Nine Dragons Market in a year.
So the red-robed youth’s loot had always been on him, unprocessed.
Furthermore, after Foundation Establishment, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture could break through to the second level, and he could condense the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp within his body.
This Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp could also be cast into a physical magic artifact, serving as a Life-bound Spiritual Artifact.
The materials needed to cast a Life-bound Spiritual Artifact might be directly available in this Qingyun Market.
After a brief stroll in the Inner City, they headed towards the central peak of the marketplace.
“Caiyun Peak, Xiao Xiyue, needs to rent a Second-Order top-quality cave mansion.”
Upon reaching the Core Area and finding the person responsible for renting cave mansions, Xiao Xiyue showed her true face, presented her token, and spoke.
“Sister Xiao is renting a cave mansion, may I ask for what purpose?”
“If you’re secluding yourself to impact your cultivation level, we currently have an upper-grade ‘A’ cave mansion available, but if you’re merely practising temporarily, a ‘B’ ranked cave mansion would be sufficient for Sister Xiao,” said the person, whose surname was Han, and appeared to be in his forties or fifties, a disciple of Qingyun Sect as well.
After checking the token, he immediately replied cordially.
“To impact my cultivation level, hence the need to rent a Second-Order top-quality ‘A’ cave mansion,” said Xiao Xiyue.
“Alright, Sister Xiao, a Second-Order top-quality ‘A’ cave mansion is five hundred Spirit Stones per year,” Han said.
Even for their own people, they still had to pay with Spirit Stones to rent, though the price was already considered cheap.
After all, the cave mansion Lu Changsheng rented in Red Leaf Valley Market could almost be rented for a hundred Spirit Stones.
“Thank you for your trouble, Brother Han.”
Xiao Xiyue took out the Spirit Stones.
The other party didn’t say much else, quickly helping them with the formalities and explaining some matters.
“I wonder if Sister Xiao is making this breakthrough to Foundation Establishment for herself, or is renting the cave mansion for a friend.”
“If people found out that Xi Yue Fairy of Caiyun Peak is actually spending time in the same room with a man… Tsk tsk tsk…”
After Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng left, this Han sighed and shook his head.
Although he’d never met Xiao Xiyue, he had heard of her name and reputation.
After all, she was a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal.
Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she was also exceptionally talented and had a modicum of fame in Qingyun Sect.
“However, since this person is a friend of Fairy Xi Yue, he must also be quite young.”
“To dare to go for Foundation Establishment at this age, he must be no ordinary person. I wonder if he’ll succeed in Foundation Establishment.”
A trace of envy and a hint of melancholy appeared in Han’s eyes.
He’d been appointed to handle renting in this marketplace. Although his status and treatment were good, without an opportunity, Foundation Establishment was nearly hopeless.
Therefore, seeing someone younger come to attempt Foundation Establishment, he felt quite sentimental.
…
Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng came to a misty part of the mountain waist.
Utilising the token for the restriction, they opened the gate of the cave mansion.
The cave mansion wasn’t large, roughly a hundred square meters or so.
Inside, the Spiritual Energy was dense and miasmic, nearly forming a thin mist.
“Is this what a Second-Order top-quality cave mansion looks like?”
Lu Changsheng took in the dense Spiritual Energy, feeling as if he were floating on air, his whole body suffused with a smooth sensation.
It was his first time renting a Second-Order cave mansion.
Whether in Qingzhu Valley or Red Leaf Valley Market, he had only used lower-grade Spirit Veins of the second rank.
He could tell that this cave mansion was not merely Second-Order top-quality but also had formations that gathered spiritual energy to the extreme.
“This ‘A’ ranked cave mansion is specifically used for cultivation breakthroughs, so it concentrates a lot of Spiritual Energy.”
“Once the breakthrough is completed, the Spiritual Energy will thin out and need to be condensed again,” Xiao Xiyue explained.
Although she had never been to such a cave mansion,
She had access to Second-Order top-quality Spirit Veins at Caiyun Peak.
She knew what a Second-Order top-quality Spirit Vein was like.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and checked the interior of the cave mansion.
He designated a bedroom and a practice room, with a simple stone table and stone bed; it was very spartan.
But this was typical for a cave mansion. As long as it was livable, it was acceptable.
Since he had a little over a month until Foundation Establishment,
They didn’t practice day and night as usual.
After a short time together, they both sat cross-legged and adjusted their Qi, spirit, and mentality.
Lu Changsheng wasn’t in a rush to tune his state.
In his mind, he silently called out, “System, I want to draw a prize.”
Immediately, the familiar system roulette wheel appeared.
“Start the draw.”
Lu Changsheng’s expression remained utterly calm, his Mental Spirit stirred slightly.
And soon, a flash of golden light appeared on the wheel and began to spin rapidly.
After a while, the golden light gradually settled on “Other.”
